The civil war in Sudan has been raging for nearly two years and has displaced an estimated 12 million people. Now, there are reports that the breakaway military faction, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has stormed the Zamzam Refugee Camp in North Darfur, Sudan's largest displacement camp. We hear from an expert who has been monitoring the situation on the ground. Denmark is dismantling immigrant neighborhoods where the government says residents — mostly people from the Middle East — don't share “Danish values.” A law that came into effect six years ago paved the way for the government to kick folks out of public housing, and then entice people who do have Danish values to move in. That is to say: white Danes. The project is sparking vocal criticism throughout Europe. Also, a balancing act in the city of Kyoto: how to preserve the city's spiritual heritage while still benefiting from the heavy tourism it draws. And, Ukrainian journalist and Wall Street Journal correspondent Yaroslav Trofimov stops by The World to discuss his recent novel, as well as the current situation in Ukraine.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.

Environments associated with migration are often seen as provisional, lacking both history and architecture. As Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi demonstrates in Architecture of Migration: The Dadaab Refugee Camps and Humanitarian Settlement (Duke UP, 2023), a refugee camp's aesthetic and material landscapes—even if born out of emergency—reveal histories, futures, politics, and rhetorics. She identifies forces of colonial and humanitarian settlement, tracing spatial and racial politics in the Dadaab refugee camps established in 1991 on the Kenya-Somalia border—at once a dense setting that manifests decades of architectural, planning, and design initiatives and a much older constructed environment that reflects its own ways of knowing. She moves beyond ahistorical representations of camps and their inhabitants by constructing a material and visual archive of Dadaab, finding long migratory traditions in the architecture, spatial practices, landscapes, and iconography of refugees and humanitarians. Countering conceptualizations of refugee camps as sites of border transgression, criminality, and placelessness, Siddiqi instead theorizes them as complex settlements, ecologies, and material archives created through histories of partition, sedentarization, domesticity, and migration. This interview was conducted by Dr. Hannah Pool, whose research focuses on human mobilities. She is a senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Studies of Societies.

Fidele Sebahizi is an immigrant from the Congo, survived a UN refugee camp massacre, immigrated to the US, and became an American citizen and an officer in the Abilene Police Department. While an officer he earned his bachelors, Masters, and PhD and wrote a book on his journey from a small village in Eastern Congo in Africa to Abilene, Texas. He tells of the brutal violence he experienced and the fight for an education. In our interview we talk about the difference in the education system there versus in America; the difference between police accountability there versus America; the difference between racial tensions there versus America; and if he were made President of the Congo what he would do. We talk a little about his journey but really you should buy his book: Creating a Life from the Ashes.

We ask whether Israel is now implementing the so-called generals plan - the mass expulsion of civilians and the creation of a military zone in the north? The World Food programme says no food has been able to enter northern Gaza since October the first. The Hamas-run health ministry says forty nine Palestinians have been killed in the north in the past twenty four hours. We hear from Gaza's Civil Defence and from our correspondent in Beirut.Also on the programme: How the Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny foretold his death in prison in diaries he wrote while detained; and the blessing scam - cash to protect your loved ones from evil spirits.(Picture: Palestinians flee areas in northern Gaza Strip following fresh Israeli evacuation order Credit: REUTERS/Dawoud Abu Alkas)

At least 19 Palestinians have been killed by an Israeli attack in the crowded al-Mawasi refugee camp. The area had been designated a safe zone by the Israeli military. The attack left craters that were 30 feet deep and 50 feet wide, leading many to believe US-made 2,000 pound bombs were used. What are the fates of the Palestinians with nowhere left to go after this attack? Please tell us what you think about our shows. Go to https://www.aljazeera.com/survey to fill out our survey.
